NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE.--The greatest and most nsef ul invention of the day, A GUA AMARELL 1. Messrs. JOHN GOSNELL and CO., 3, King-court, Lombard street, London, Peri umors to her Majesty, respectfully offer to the public this truly marvellous IWO. which gradually restores the human hair to its pristine hue—no matter at what age. The Ague Amarella has none of the properties of dyes ; it, on the contrary, is beneficial to the system, and when the hair is once restored one application per month will keep it in perfect colour. Price one guinea per bottle, or in half bottles, 10s. 61. Testimonials from'ari Wes of the highest order, and from individuals of undoubted respectability, may be seen on application. Messrs. John Gosnell and Co. have been appointed Perfumers to her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales. should turn out that Mr. Lincoln, and not General M'Clellan, has the apparent majority in New York, the Democratic party will be put in possession of a monster grievance, of which they may be well trusted to make the most at the fitting opportunity. General Butler's " Order" was in other respects a euriosi:y. It asserted that the "armies of the United States were ministers of good, not of evil ;'' that they were " the safeguards of constitutional liberty ;" that they could be "a terror to evil-doers only ;" and that " those who feared them were accused by their own consciences." Tnis is the approved autocratic style--the very formula of Emperors and Kaisers, and should point out Gen. Butler as the man born to be the Dictator of the Commonwealth as soon as the people shall have shown by a certain amount of patient acquiescence in wrong that they are ripe and ready for the strong hand, the steady will, and the unrelenting purpose of their destined enslaver. But the most invidious paragraph in " General Orders No. 1." is that in which the General asserts that fraudulent voting, which he has been sent to punish, if he cannot prevent, " is an offence against the peace and dignity of the United States." Now, the Federal Government or the Government of the United States has nothing whatever to do with elections in any State. Fraudulent votieg e is an offence against the State in which it is committed; the authorities of such State have both the right and power to punish it; and the Federal authority and the Federal troops have no more business to meddle with the local jurisdication in such a matter than they have to in terfere in the domestic affairs of a foreign country. If there were one thing more than another of which the framers of the Constitution were preeminently jealous it was of the slightest interference of the central power with elections. So watchful were they to prevent even indirect control or influence that they specially enacted that no Senator or represene tative or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States should be appointed an elector. By means of this proviso Gen. Butler is himself excluded, and could not be chosen an elector to-day to sit in the Electoral College which is to choose the President unless he resigned his commis sion in the army. The Constitution of each State is equally decisive, and in some of the States even the State militia cannot be summoned to drill or exer cise within a period of ten days preceding a Presi dential purpose of ass em bli ng i t should be election to intimidate lest the purpose Gen. Butler, how h ever,States, favours and m denies th e r i g ht s o f t h e this instanc e , es i n ever y anifcentralisation, in other, a revolutionary purpose, not to be turned aside by such poor impediments as laws and constitutions. How long - the "emergencies" which have brought this New York are to l a st depends w o h us ag ol p ly er u so p n e to on the results of the election— ube positively known, though they s l t ms whichb efore th e d eparture of the may b e surmised, cannotis ed, mail this evening, and which m a y d epen d upon the r votes of the Electoral Colleges far more than upon the numerical majority of the people. If Mr Lin coln be elected with a suspicion of unfairness, either on account of the non-reception of Democratic votes in the Border States, of frauds upon the soldiers, or of intimidation in this or any other State, General Butler will probably be a fixture in his new com mand. If, however, General M'Clellan be elected, though the war would not be at end, there will be an end of Gen. Butler as the satrap of New York. This city will be relieved of a standing provocative to ill temper, if not to ill behaviour, and America will probably lose the civil as well as military ser vices of the boldest and ablest of the many revolu tionists whom the volcanoes of civil strife have truded from the depths of private or professional life to the daylight and notoriety of the surface. Though but little or no importance can now attach to any of the electioneering speeches made in behalf of either of the candidates, it may be inte resting, in elucidation of the history of this extra• ordinary time, to describe the character of some of them, and notably those delivered in favour of Mr Lincoln. The gentle Charles Sumner, the wild and decorous Henry Ward Beecher, the modest and re tiring Anna Dickenson, and a whole army of lec turers and preachers have been busily engaged at this work for the last week. Although they have not sounded the praises of Mr Lincoln very loudly, if at ail, they have done the next best thing in their power, they have hurled fierce denunciation against his opponent. Miss Dickenson is above or beneath criticism, and were she not a typo of the kind of women whom the American school system pretends to educate, and launches into the world in utter ignorance of everything a woman ought to know, and with a deep knowledge of everything of which she ought to be i gnorant, m i g h t b e p asse d over without notice. But Messrs Sumner and Ward Beecher are persons of a higher range of intel lect, and neither man nor woman ought to be ashamed to li s t en to teac h ers so we ll fi tted by study and tu rn Mr Sumner, who, i n of mind to instruct and edify them. But what i s the world to t hi n k o f honest advocating the claims of Mr Lincoln to re-el ect i on before a large assem b lage of ladies on Saturday evening condescended to employ the argument—among many others as bad—that Gen. M'Clellan's conduct in the arrest of the Maryland Legislature in 1861 Was not such as to justify any one in voting for him. "Mr Lincoln," he said, "had arrested a few p eop l e, but Gen. M•Clellan had done worse—he had a rrested the whole Leg i s l ature o f the State of Maryland." There were some men present at the meeting, b u t not one of them had a su ffi c i ent love of truth and f a i r play to reply to M r S umner in the spirit of manliness, that to Mr Lincoln bee longed the whole discredit of the arrest of those gen. tlemen ; that what w as done by Gen. M'Clellan was done in obedience t o Superior orders ; and that if Mr w Sumner's argument were valid on that account faagraaiensatgGaienna.t MrM;CI Lincoln. But no one moved or e llan it told with infinitely greater spoke, and the fluent orator gained an easy, but scarcely an honourable victory. On the same evening this gentleman,peace po stwho prio r t o t h e w ar was k nown as a pea le, 4i me mber of the league of Universal B ro therhood, a man whoa declared all war to be a a wrong, a scandal, a sin, and a disgrace, who main tained that even defensive War was contrary t o th e truth and the spirit of Chri st i an i ty, b ut who s i nce the Federal flag was fired upon at Fort Sumter in 1861 has been as bellicose as an Irishman and as thirsty of conquest as a Napoleon, declared "that IV the South had no rights under the Constitution ex• cept such as they could vindicate on * the field of battle." The ladies waved their handkerchiefs, and the men rose to their feet with delight at this sentiment. Mr peace,llilr S though he was once a appears to have been always, now fanatic for war, and to be now a dire. Unionist. If the South have no rights except such as it can gain on the field of battle it must continue u a m nd ner i , a to fight until it become the stronger party, and so gain its independence, or until the North conquer it, exterminate the people, and hold it, not as a political partner to its bosom, but es an enslaved dependency, to be governed by sword and gun, the guillotine and the gallows. The man o f peace sees no middle course, and vilifies Gen. M'Clellan only because ho fears that if such a man were President he might make or listen to an offer of reconciliation. But Mr Sumner is only a philanthropist who has mistaken his road, and would rather ruin the world than that justice should not be done in it after his own particular fashion. The Rev. Mr Beecher occupies a different position, and has for a month belied his religion and desecrated his pulpit by the violent appeals which ho has made to the political passions of his congregation every Sunday evening, when he has preached sermons avowedly intended, and advertised, to favour the pretensions of Mr Lincoln and to advocate the bitter prosecution of the war. On Sunday evening last he wound up a pro fane sermon—often received with applause, and as often with laughter—by the emphatic declaration, " That any man who begged a vote for General M'Clellan and the sham Democracy, and especially if he begged it of a soldier, would stand in no need of a day of judgment, inasmuch as he would be cerm tain to go to hell without judge or jury." What do people deserve who take pleasure i❑ the ministra tion of such preachers as this ? 5 O'CLOCK P.M. I have just time before the close cf the mail, via Boston, to say that the elections hlve all passed over quietly ; that the people were more than usually good-tempered and orderly at the polls; that they did not Lffdrd the slightest pretence for the interference of the police, much kis of the mili tary; and that the Democratic party here claim a very large majority for M'Clellan and Pendleton. for Governor Seymour and the Democratic Ticket. The Republicans did not expect a victory in this city, which is the stronghold par excellence of the Democrats; but they hoped, and still hope, that the rural vote will be found to be in favour of Mr Lincoln, and with such a preponderance in num bers as to more than neutralise the city vote for M'Clellan. Rumours of plots in the West, and especially in Chicago, where several influential traitors were said to have been arrested, were cur rant during the day, but the people were too busy with voting to pay any heed to them, or to anything else that appeared in the newspapers, or that was repeated at places of public resort. Ad idea that New York, or any other city, will be fired this evening is universally scouted; but some malignant partisans of the Administration, while admitting the decorum of all classes in a tone as if they were rather sorry than otherwise that there had been no disturbance, comfort themselves with the reflection that no thanks are due to the people for results so creditable, but to General Butler, who laved them into unwonted good behaviour. The banks have carried on their business during the day, but there have been no transactions in the Stock-Exchange or in the gold market. PRICE ..4d. STAMPED ....5d. would not support him. To that gentleman, therefore, he had no hesitation in saying that he would oppose the second reading of that measure, as he had done before, and that course he should pursue even should his seat depend upon his following it. He believed that they could not make men more scber than they could make them religious by Act of Parliament, and he thought the better plan was to educate and improve the people. As to the subject of Re form, he voted for every bill that had been brought into the house for the extension of the suffrage, and he should con tinue to do so. If, however, they intended that the working classes should have the franchise, let them look well as to the men they returned at next election. (Hear.) He was therefore before them on that occasion to show that he had kept all his promises, and done his bes:, to attend to his duties in the House of Commons ; and a better proof of that he could not produce than the lists which had been pub lished of the attendance of members on the divisions in that house. (Hear) From that list he found that in the session of 1862 he had voted in 193 divisions out of the 222 which took place ; in 1863, in 153 out of 188 ; and in 1864, in 134 out of 156. He did not wish to mention names, but that was more than any of the other metropolitan members could boast of. Under these circumstances, he certainly did feel that the malignity with which he had been treated by some parties was as unjust as it was ungenerous. Among other things, it had been said that Sir Morton Peto was about to retire from the representation of the borough because he felt degraded by his colleague. On seeing that statement in the Observer of last Sunday, he had written to Sir Morton Peto on the subject, and he had received a letter from that gentleman stating that there was not a word of truth in the assertion, that tho cause of his iotiroment from Finsbury was the amount of work connected with the representation of the borough ; but that with regard to their mutual rela tions ever since they had sat together in the House of Com mons, these had been of the most cordial character, and that were it in his power to in any way assist his candida ture at the next election he would readily do so, while at the same time he was happy to believe that such was not needed. (Hear.) The Son manner 11-sn o,encluded stating that while there was no chance of a general election until about that time next year, he had no doubt on that occasion he would be returned as one of their members (Loud cheers.) Mr S. HILLIBEER then moved a resolution expressive of confidence in Mr Cox, and that he had, by his attention to his duties and his conduct generally, entitled himself to the conduct of the electors of Finibury. Mr HIGGINS, barrister, of Lincoln's Inn, seconded the re solution ; when Mr DOWNING again came forward and denounced the conduct of Mr Cox respecting the Stansfeld affair as un worthy of a man who represented the Liberal borough of Finsbury. He was, however, met with such interruption that he was unable to make himself heard, and contented himself with protesting against Mr Cox's conduct in that respect, and stating his conviction that he would never again be elected one of the members for Finsbury. In reply to Mr Jeffrey, Mr Cox then stated that he had no objection to the ap pointment of a select committee of the House of Commons to consider the acts relating to the sale of intoxicating drinks, suoh as the Forbes Mackenzie Act, the Permissive Bill, and the licensing system generally. The resolution was then put from the chair and adopted, and a vote of thanks having been passed to the chairman the large assemblage broke up at a late hour. Mr. Cox, M,P., and his Constituents. Last evening Mr Cox, MY:, one of the representatives of the borough of Finsbury, addressed a very large meeting of the electors and non-electors of that borough in the Agricultural Hall, Islington-green. Dr WILKINSON having been voted to the chair, briefly opened the proceedings, when Mr Cox presented himself to the meeting, and was re ceived with much applause. Ho remarked that he had appeared before them to explain to them the manner in which he had discharged his duties in Parliament, and if they gave him a fair and proper hearing he should be pre pared to abide by their decision without fear or trepidation. (Hear, and cries of " Stansfeld.") He had made out a programme of the subjects on which he wished to touch, and he could assure them that the question as to his con duct in the case of Mr Stansfeld was among the number. (Cheers.) He did not wish to shirk that question; but would come to it in its order, (Hear, hear.) Wel', then, he would proceed with his programme; and first as to the Danish question. That was a party question, and had the Government been beaten upon it Lord Derby would have come into office. It was deserving of being placed in the foreground. He was one of those who did not altogether approve of the conduct of the Government throughout all the stages of that question. He consi dered that at cno time they had goaded Denmark on to resistance to the German Powers, in which they were not prepared to back her, and which had no doubt proved very detrimental to her interests. When, however, the question reduced itself into the form which it did when it was brought before the House of Commons, namely, as to whether they were to assist Denmark by armed intervention, and inveigle this country in a war with the German Powers, and when the Government had decided on not entering upon such a war, he considered that they were bound to support the Government, as had they entered upon a war with Germany, no one could predict where it might have led them. B e therefore Noted with the Government against Mr Di,raeli's motion on that question. He had also assisted in obtaining an alteration in the fire insurance duties, and which he had no doubt would be the means of bringing about further concessions from the Chancellor of the Ex chequer in respect of them, The next question he had put down was that of Reform, (Loud cries of " Stansfeld.'') Well, as that platter followed it, he would indulge the meet- I ing and refer to it at once. It was a question which he had no doubt must create a deep interest in a borough like Fins. bury, and he should therefore give a full and free explana tion of his conduct respectiog it. Well, then, having read a report of a speech made by an official of the French Govern ment holding about the same rank as their Solicitor-General which appeared to him to contain a charge against not only a member of the Government and of the House of Commons, but a member also of the Beal party in that house, to which he himself belonged, and being in friendly commu nication with that gentleman, and sitting on the same seat with him, he thought it but right for the sake of that gen tleman to take some notice of it; for ho considered that when a charge of conspiring in a plot to murder was brought against such a man, it was the duty of those° on meted with him to take notice of it. He would put it to any ono whether, when such a charge was brought against anyone member of a party, and that:party a small one, it was not the duty of the others connected with that party to inquire into the truth of it ? A VOICE—Did you believe it? Mr Cox—lt did not matter as to belief. The charge was made. Plot or no plot, complicity or no complicity, there was the charge ; and a charge of such a nature against an innocent man was of more importance than against one who might be guilty of it. He, therefore, resolved to inquire into the truth of it. For that purpose he went down to the House previous to the Speaker coming in for prayers in order to see Mr Stansfeld. That gentlemaa had not then arrived, but he saw Mr Brand, of the Treasury, and he asked him if he had seen Mr Stansfeld, as he intended putting a question to him on the subject of this charge. According to the etiquette and courtesy of the House of Commons it was customary to give notice the night pre vious of the intention to put a question to any hon. mem ber, and such was his intention on that occasion, but Mr Stansfeld having come into the House soon after, and Mr Brand having told him of his intention, the former gen tleman came to him where he was sitting and said, " I am glad that you intend to ask a question as to the charge preferred by the Prooureur-General of France, and I wish you to do so to-night without giving any notice on the sub ject." He accordingly put the question as Mr Stansfeld des sired, and that gentleman answered it. (Hear.) That was all he did. It was what he considered it his duty to do, and yet for doing that he had, as old Mr O'Connell used to say, been the best abused man in the three kingdoms for the last three or four months. (Loud cries of " What as to your vote?") Well, he would tell them as to that as well. The motion which was made on the subject was, "That the statement made by the Procureur-General against a mem ber of that house on the plot for the assassination of an ally of this country was deserving the serious consideration of the house ;" and believing that it was a matter which did deserve the serious consideration of the house, he voted for the motion. He considered that in juatioo to the Luau him self, it deserved consideration, in order that its groundless ness might be proved. There was a case in point in respect to Mr Lowe. When that gentleman was accused of alter ing some report of the Commissioners on Education he at once demanded a committee of inquiry, and it was granted. In this case, therefore, he considered the same ceurse should have been pursued, and that was all he intended. (Cheers and hisses.) If, therefore, there was anyone present dissa tisfied with his explanation, he would, before proceeding further, pause to allow any question being put to him re specting it. Mr DOWNING, amidst considerable confusion, said he had on two previous occasions given a plumper for Mr Cox, but he was so dissatisfied with his cenduet respecting the Stansfeld affair that he could no longer consistently support him. Mr C9l—l am ready to answer any question, but at pre sent I cannot allow you to make a speech. Mr DOWNING—Then I must wait until the resolution of approval of your conduct is put at the close of your address, and move an amendment to it. (Cheers and uproar.) Mr CA RTWRIGHT—Did Mr Cox, when he put that ques- Lion to Mr Stansfeld, believe that the charge made was false, and that it was a fabrication of the Imperial Govern ment ? Mr Cox—l did believe it to be false, and I put the ques- lion to give Mr Stansfeld an opportunity of repudiating it. (Loud cheers.) The hon. member then proceokied to say that ho had never given a promise to the electors of Fins bury but what he had kept ; and if the constituency con tinued to him their confidence, he should act as he had done, independently and honestly, and never be subject to the influences of any Minister or any party whatever. lie had promised to the electors he would bring the case of flogging and branding in the army before the House, and he had taken the occasion of the introduction of the Mutiny Bill to carry out that object. He had given notice when that bill was in committee that he would move that flogging and branding in the army and navy should be abandoned, and the result was that forty-two voted with him and forty five against him, a circumstance which showed the lamentable state of the present House of Commons, when only 87 members could bo found in the house to vote on so important a question. He had that morning received a letter asking whether he would approve the second reading of the Permissive Bill next ses sion, as he had done last session, because if so the writer AMERICA. :ME PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN (From the Times' Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Nov. 8. The eventful day that is to decide the fate of America for the next four years, and possibly for all coming time, dawned gray and misty. A thick vapour covered land and sea, and concealed from the sight of the spectator every object more than 50 yards distant. As the day wore on the gloom in.. _ _ _ creased, and by 9 o'clock was accompanied by such a heavy fall of rain as is seldom to be seen in our showery England, but which ever and anon bursts upon the Atlantic shores of this continent with the force and continuity of a miniature deluge. Every one predicted a " slim" vote as likely to be the re sult ; but before noon the rain abated, though the fog did not clear away, and the people turned out to the polling places in numbers as large as at any previous election, or, as some old inhabitants say, much larger. No troops were to be seen in the streets, but it was notified in most of the journals that fully 10,000 men were posted in convenient localities, some in steam ferry boats anchored in the Eaet River and the Hudson, and some in the neighbouring cities of Brooklyn and Jersey, ready to act at five minutes' notice in case of ri.)t. Gunboats were also stationed in both rivers. Except the report of the capture of the Confederate war steamer Florida off the coast of Brazil a month ago there was scarcely even the whisper of a Federal victory, though so many had been predicted as certain to hsppen on or before to-day to raiee the spirits of Mr Lincoin't, friends to the fever point of enthusiasm. This dis appointment tended to throw a moral damp upon the Republican party as cold as the“ payaic il one which impartial nature, in the shape of mist and rain, had thrown upon the just and the unjust, the peaceable and the warlike. The only feet, or sem blance of a feet which seemed in any degree to warm the hearts of the Line elnites with hope and joy, and to animate the AFClellanites with the more fervid sentiments of hate and indignation, was the arrival of General Butler, and the noti fication under his own hand, that he had by direction of the President and to meet a special emergency assumed military command of the Sato of New York. Nor did it tend to increase the equanimity of the Democratic party to learn that so early as Saturday, 30 hours or more before any official an nouncement had been made either of his presence or his functions in this city, the General should have ordered the attendance at his headquarters of Mr Gilbert Dean, an eminent lawyer of this city, to explain some passages in a speech which he had re. cently made in support of Gen. M'Clellen, By what right, it was asked, did the General summon to wait upon him a gentleman with whom he wee not personally acquainted, and whom, if he wanted to see, he could have found at his house or place of business? But the official announcement of yester day morning was a sufficient reply to that question, and the loyal leaguers, the contractors, the extere minators, the negrophilists, the war Christians, and the friends of the Administration generally were loud in their expressions of joy that, to some one more resolute and unscrupulous than the respectable and gentlemanly, not to say polished and aristocra tic Gen. Dix, had been deputed the task of over awing the traitors and Copperheads, the Secession ists and Cessationists, who form so large a minority in this great city. Two or three persons, one of them a Wall -street broker, suspected of traitorous conspi racy with other persons unknown to send up the premium on gold were invited by the polite and peremptory aides-deeeamp of the General to wait upon the awful Butler, and explain why they should not be sent to Fort Lafayette. But in all these cases the trembling innocents escaped with a reprimand. General Butler received his visitors with all courtesy, seat in full military costume at his writing table, with one loaded revolver on the right hand and another on the left. In all quarters, except among the zealots of the Republican party, a decidedly angry feeling was created, not alone by the appointment of General Butler, but by the rea sons given by himself in his " General Order N 0.1," why such duties were confided to him. This person —whose names it is historical truth to say is synony mous in America, if not in Europe, with all that is odious or despotic in the practice of Government, informed the people of this great State and city , little accustomed to be hectored and dragooned by any individual, however high and mighty he may be or may think himself, " that he had assumed command of the troops arriving at and about to arrive in New Yorklo meet existing emergencies.'' In order that he might not be accused of what every one imagined his real purpose—a design to overawe the people, this day presenting themselves peaceably at the polls to tender their votes for Gen. M'Clellan he explained the " emergencies," which called for such an evil dens cx inachina as himself to meet and manipulate. They were no other than "raids alike in quality and object to that made at St. Alban's," He added that, had not such raids been in contemplation " there could have been no necessity for preceutionary 'preparations." In other words, the Federal Government, under pretext that a few Southern refugees in Canada might take advantage of the excitement of the Presidential election to run over into Maine or Vermont, or cross the Lakes above and below Niagara, to create disturbance or commit depredations, despatched the tyrant of New Orleans to this city, and left his division of the Army of the Potomac to take care of itself while he guarded the Canadian frontier, five hundred miles distant from his head-quarters in Broad way. The people of New York were not se simple-minded as to be deceived b 5 so flimsy a pretext, and if at the close of the polls today it i SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LEAMINGTON AND WARWICKSHIRE !HUNT MEETING.—TUESDAY, Favourable weather for racing could not be expected so late in November, and though Mr Merry prepared an ex cellent day's sport of a mixed character, the general attend ance was meagre.

Capture of the Florida. The Boston Post of the 9th The famous United States screw sloop — Rearia - Fge Eirriird at this port at a late hour on Monday night. She brings the gratifying intelligence of the capture of the pirate Florida. This was Effected in the Bay of San Salvador, Brazil,.on the morning of Oct. 7, by the United States steamer Wachusett, Commander Napoleon Collins. 58 of the crew and 12 all cars of the Florida wore captured without loss of life, the remainder of the crew and officers being on shore at Bahia et the limn of the attack. Ptp• -4 the Florida . ..zero taken by surprise, the captuiriand nilny of the men were bhp shore. The Wachusett struck the Florida on the fore quarter, but did not inflict any serious damage. The first lieutenant immediately acceded to Capt. Collins' demand to surrender. The affair lasted about 20 minutes, and while the Wachusett was, with her prize, leaving the harbour, she was fired at three times by a Brazilian steamer, but the Wa. chusett kept on her course. The captured of f icers of the Florida wero Southerners, most of whom belonged to the regular service before the secession of the Southern States. One of the officers had held a commission as major in the Confederate army. The crew were principally Italians, with a few Germans, French, Greeks, and Hebrews. The papers of the Florida were taken, and much valuable information is in the hands of Lieut. Wiliams, who is the bearer of de. spatches to the Navy Department. The Wachusett had been for some time cruising in search of the Florida, but without success, and the 4th October went into the port of Bahia, Bay of San Salvador, Brazil, for the purpose of getting coal. On the evening of the sth the Florida came into the same port for the same purpose and for repairs. The Florida was taken in charge by the Brazilian authorities, and came to anchor under the guns of two forts, one mounting 21 and the other 18 guns. A sloop of war of 21 guns, and a barge also carrying artil lery, both belonging to the Brazilian Government, also anchored within pistol shot of the Florida, and formed a circle mound her. On the evening of the 6th Captain Col lins, having ilentified the Florida, called a consultation of his officers, at which it was resolved to sink the pirate in the harbour. The officers of the rebel craft seemed to entertain no fear of danger from the Wachusett. and everything about the ship was as still and silent as on board a merchantman. Captain Collins aimed to strike the Florida amidships, which would almost instantly have sunk her, but his vessel veered, and he hit her on the quarter. Unprepared as they were, the officer in command of the Florida had no alterna tive but surrender. In the excitement of the occasion some pistols were discharged, and two guns accidentally fired from the Waschusett. The attack was made at 3 a.m. As the Wachusett struck her opponent Capt. Collins called to the lieutenant in command of the Florida to surrender, and the latter instantly complied. The lieutenant had but a moment previous called to the Wachusett to be careful or she would run into her. She did so. Half an hour after the capture of the Florida the Wachusett started out to sea with her. When the day broke Captain Collins saw a side-wheel steamer towing a Brazilian man-of.war cut of Bahia; but he put on all sail and a lull head of steam, and was soon out of sight The prisoners say that Captain Morris. their commander. was or board the Florida when the Wachusett attacked her, awl that he jumped into a dingy lying alongside and escaped to the shore, which was only 200 yards off. The Wachusett and her prize are expected in New York shortly. Tho crew seemed much mortified at the manner in which they ha been captured, but contented themselves with saying that "Every dog had his day." The Florida is a well-built vessel of about 600 tons, but she is little over half the size and not half the strength of the Alabama. The Florida had a splendid battery, heavier than that of the Kearsage, and there were on board of her a large sum ber of chronometers and other articles, the result of the various depredations committed by her. The Kearsage proved mach faster than the vaunted Alabama, and she is undoubtedly one cf the best vessels of her class in the service. On her way here from St. Thomas her average speed was about 12 knots an hour, remarkably good speed, when it is remembered the time she had been on active duty, and the rough weather she had encountered, besides her sharp conflict with the Alabama. She now carries in her rudder-post a 1291 b shell, Ns hich Capt. Winslow was afraid to remove from fear of an explo sion, Her transom and stern is much shattered, and the will require some time for thorough repairs. The Kearsargo in her cruising learned something about the Tallahassee, which made her experimental trip in sight of the Kearsarge, before she had been converted into a piractical rover. She is about 500 tons, and very fast, and a better ship than has been generally represented. The prisoners on board the Kearsarge will be transferred to Fort Warren. Two officers of the Alabama, the chief engineer, Freeman, and the boat swain, are among them. The former is a Welshman, but was formerly in our navy; the boatswain is a Philadelphian. The harbour of Bahia, which is a very large one, was found to be difficult to blockade, as there are two channels, each about 15 miles wide ; and Capt. Collins, of the Wa chusetts, determined to enter the harbour, with the inten tion of either sinking the Florida or capturing her. The officers of the Kearsarge (says the 2ravell‘r) were treated with the highest consideration in the English and French ports which they visited after their victory over Semmes. Whenever the Kearsarge went into Dover the 78th Highlanders used to gather on the hill and receive the ship with hearty cheers. At Dover, Hastings, Folkestone, in England, Boulogne, Ostend, and Cherbourg, thousand of people visited her. Many distinguished naval officers of both countries came on board and inspected with great at' tention the armament and general arrangements of the ship In France a dozen distinguished painters made sketches of the fight, and the Emperor sent his own marine painter down to make in perfect picture of the engagement. We understand that all the bonds taken from captured prizes were found on board the Florida. Although they would not sell for 6 per cent. of their faca in any country, it is gratify ing to shipowners who have been victimised to have them. secured. Captain Winslow yesterday, in company with his sou, called upon Admiral Stringham, at the Navy Yard. The admiral received him in the most cordial manner, and warmly congratulated him on his capture of the notorious Alabama. Captain Winslow had hardly entered into con versation before the Navy Yard battery gave a thundering welcome, which was duly replied to from the Kearsarge. Subsequently Captain Winslow proceeded to Roxbury, where he exercised the elective franchise. His appearance in the ward-room was the signal for enthusiastic applause. The city has invited Captain Winslow and his officers and. crew to a reception at Faneuil Hall. Captain Winslow has accepted the invitation, and the affair will come off on Thursday at noon. It will be a grand occasion. The Board. of Aldermen will make the necessary arrangements at the meeting this afternoon. Capt. Winslow and his officers are expected to be present at the opening of the National Sailors' Fair, at the Academy of Music, this evening. WASHINGTON, D.C., Nov. 8.
